The new solution for Flame Spray coating technology developed by Axalta ensures corrosion protection for applications in harsh environments.
Axalta has announced the launch of Abcite® 2060, a single-layer solution for Flame Spray coating technology available in a wide range of colours that provides corrosion protection without the need for a coating line and eliminates the need for primer.
The solution can be applied by depositing semi-molten polymer particles onto a heated surface, allowing particles to fuse to the surface as part of a comprehensive polymer coating and create an impermeable barrier, mitigating the degradation of materials and the associated impact of unplanned repair work. It is then suitable for use on large metal structures in a variety of harsh environments.
“We are continually developing new and innovative solutions to accommodate the ever-evolving coating requirements of projects around the world. We provide the full range of thermosetting, thermoplastic, and liquid products, which makes us more responsive to the needs of our customers, equipping them to fully rise to the challenge of ensuring outstanding surface protection, whatever the environment,” stated Pascal Nicard, the Senior Global Technology Manager at Axalta.
The new product developed by Axalta is resistant to a host of other factors which compromise surface material performance, including the presence of alkalines and acids, condensation, UV exposure and abrasions and other types of force which could otherwise cause damage.
Abcite 2060 is compliant with the ISO 12944-6/-9 standard for galvanised and grit-blasted steel and also offers edge and corner coverage as part of a comprehensive solution that combines exceptional anti-corrosion protection with first-class aesthetics.
“Abcite® 2060 combines the exceptional anticorrosion and mechanical performance of Abcite® with the simplicity of use of Flame Spray Coating technology, resulting in major efficiency gains throughout the application process. Our compliance with numerous industry standards provides independent validation of the level of protection on offer, while our recent recognition at the R&D 100 Awards underlines the strength of our innovation credentials and expertise within the field of anticorrosion,” concluded Nicard.
